英文摘要:

This year marks the centenary of Einstein's general relativity (GR), a theory whose intrinsic mathematical beauty is only matched by its robustness. Over the past 100 years, GR has stood the challenges of numerous weak and strong field tests. One remaining crown jewel is the direct detection of gravitational waves (GW), or ripples of spacetime curvature. Aside from testing GR, modified gravity theories, and a host of related fundamental physics predictions/conjectures such as cosmic censorship and nohair theorems, such detections would also provide invaluable information about the structure and history of our universe and celestial objects within.
